This is the height of idiocy. What the hell is the Islamic lady doing in the group photograph? I guess it was not an occasion for masquerades.

[quote author=Rhino.5dm]Sir, what's the meaning of this?[/quote]The meaning is simple!!! There was no contest between Amaechi and GEJ so it is a mark of irresponsibility to create a score line.

[quote author=Rhino.5dm]The crisis between president Jonathan and governor Ameachi of Rivers State has taking another dimension that could threaten Jonathan's 're-election ambition. I'm actually bias towards Ameachi, though I know he is not doing as expected going by the terrible state of some roads in Rivers State and his unnecessary wasting of resources in buying private jet and helicopters that said

I'm not trying to access duo on dividend of democracy delivered to the electorates which I know Ameachi is light years ahead of Jonathan even with his mild achievements but rather focus on the aftermath of the transient and rippling effect of their present political fracas. First, How can Jonathan pick a fight with someone that was able to deliver 1.8 million bulk votes to him? The governor Ameachi led administration coerced every resident in Rivers state to vote for Jonathan .

Secondly, fighting Ameachi is self destructive drive to Jonathan's ambition which is akin to a captain drilling a hole on his ship . Don't get me wrong. If he can't win his home base, how then can he win other regions? This is a political suicide on the part of Jonathan's camp headed by Goodwill Orubube.


Thirdly, Ameachi is firmly in charge of his territory like the lion he is. All PDP members in Rivers are coming out to openly throw their weights behind the Ameachi led administration. The Etche, Gokana, Ahoada and what have you are on radio this morning pronouncing loyalty to Ameachi's government. So sentiments and public appeal which are the hallmarks of Jonathan's administration won't work on Ameachi.

But then,

Why pick a fight with somebody like Ameachi? most people are confusing Ameachi for a sissy Timipreye Sylva-like politician. Hmm. Ameachi is way beyond this and I can confidently say that he is in control of Rivers State. He single handedly demolished water side, uprooted thugs like Ateke Tom, Abiye Sekibo, forced the likes of Asari Dokubo to relocate to Benin republic and eliminated street lords like Saboma George. The security situation is Rivers state is very very commendable and normalcy is finally returning to portharcourt contrary to the mess we had under Peter Odilli.[/quote]Rhinoceros

You are very delusional as usual. How did you come up with your goofy score line which assigned the value of 1 to Amaechi and 0 to GEJ? What was the contest?

I usually do not pay attentions to the ramblings of Doyin Okupe but he\she might be onto something reasonable this time around. Given the type of politics readily enjoyed in Nigeria, I am a ready buyer that APC might not be a registered political party by the time elections roll around.

It is apparently a suicidal endeavor on the part of ACN or ANPP or CPC to jettison its integrity as a political party for an organization such as APC that may not become a political party.

Edward Smithy: The former governor of Abia State speaks in the British parliament. Any thoughts?

Ndigbo and the reassurance of Kalu’s speech in the British House of Commons

It was the despair that Ndigbo suffer in the hands of the authorities in Nigeria that Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, a former governor of Abia State describes the Igbo as third rate citizens in the Nigerian project.

Kalu is of the thinking that rather than the Igbo will be respected as other major ethnic groups in Nigeria enjoy, Ndigbo are relegated to the background in the proposal of things in Nigeria.

http://www.orjikalumediacenter.com/ndigbo-and-the-reassurance-of-kalus-speech-in-the-british-house-of-commons-2/

I guess Orji Uzor Kalu was preaching to the wrong crowd. British government, supported by the British parliament and populace, crafted the policy that saw Ndigbo allegedly “relegated to the background in the proposal of things in Nigeria” because of hard nose approach of Ndigbo in certain human endeavors especially during the colonial era in the jungle later called Nigeria.

@OP

This is one of the most nonsensical write-ups I have come across on Nairaland. It is unfortunate that the crass stupidity flowing abundantly in Nigeria has found its way to Igbo land. In fact, the alleged author does not look like a person who resides in Igbo land. What a joke.

@OP

Next time, Yushau A. Shuaib, when you have opportunity to write your worthless epistles, I suggest you write what you mean and mean what you write. In addition, make sure that the chronological order of events are correct and factual. Most Nigerians take liberty in goofing off when writing issues that border on real time line.

The moronic loudmouth called Uwajimogu is a disgrace to people of Imo State and those who elected him to any position. How on earth could this fool named Uwajimogu ascend to the position of a speaker in Imo State? A reasonable fellow in the position this ninny occupies in Imo State would have alerted the police if such culpable proposition was ever presented to him.

The more you look, the less you see. It is Okorocha’s abracadabra. The moment the EFFC hinted the JPROS contractual fund has been traced to Lebanon, a vehicular accident was staged. If Okorocha could walk on his power, what necessitated the rush to London hospital?

The above list is as goofy as it can get.

State governors in Nigeria are showing signs of power-drunkenness and acute disrespect for rule of law. The governor of a state in Nigeria does not have any right to sack an elected local government chairman. By this same token, governors do have the right appoint local government chairman because the constitution has granted such position as elective one.

It is the same parallel to the relationship between governor and president. The idiotic shenanigans such as the action accredited to Amaechi of Rivers States give credence to the statement that Africans are not qualified to practice democracy.

By this same token, governors do have the right appoint local government chairman because constitution has granted such position as elective.

Abagworo: Dede1 I am highly convinced that you are not a sincere man. You are a shame to your family and all lovers of truth. Why can't you accept a fact that is quite glaring? Even a blind man knows the level of infrastructural change in Imo since Rochas took over or are you not based in Imo? Rochas though with his shortcomings remains a light to the Igbo people and should not be pulled down the way your likes did to Orji Kalu. Let us let the man focus on the good things he's doing in Imo State till 2015.

I have known you to be very deceitful person and senseless praise singer of Rochas Okorocha. As a matter of fact, I know Igbo people to be highly pragmatic and resourceful. If Rochas Okorocha has brought Imo State to the level of infrastructural wonders that even a blind man can feel them, a sycophant such as you would have flooded this site with the pictures of such infrastructural models Okorocha has stamped on Imo State.

Again, I met Okorocha, at least, six months to his tenure as Imo State governor. He has not disappointed me as a result of my observation of him. Have you asked about the fate of the occupants of the vehicle(s) alleged in the head-on crash with the governor’s motorcade? Rochas Okorocha is nothing but a street tout.

masu: they can never be, the war is the worst mistake we made as beromians.
we regret it and cannever repeat it again.

If most Nigerians have half intellect as you have displayed on the issues encompassing Nigeria\Biafra civil war, the scar left by the war would have been smoothened. A certain section of the country is holding onto the so-called “Abandon Property” Gowon and Nigerian government ceded to it.

At least, Ohakin never stage managed a road accident where he could be flown to London in order afford him the avenue to hide the JPROS contract money traced to Lebanon. What is the fate of the occupants of the other vehicles involved in said accident? Imo State peeps are jackasses for being hoodwinked by this street tout called Rochas Okorocha. I met him six months into his term as governor of Imo State and concluded thereafter he is a joker.

eko ilee: The bitter and disgruntled old fictional writer you are talking about and your people in general including you say all the time that you are better and morei superior than other people, you yourself made similar assertions in this thread so the nonsense about ibo man believing that one man is as good as another makes no sense, this is even outside of your mentality. The gross and empty delusions about you better than other people is one of your major and well known warped mentality and character flaws.

You said earlier that your people were better and superior back them because you dominated the civil service when in fact, it had nothing to do with all that, you people just liked sitting behind the desk and shuffling papers and doing oga sir while other people were interested in more meaningful and major endeavors from politics to commerce and industry.


You people really need to get over yourselves because you spend too much time beating your chest, claiming you are better than this and that when in fact, there is nothing under all that rubbish, you people are just shallow and empty and this is obviously as seen all over your land and your people dependent on the same people you claim you are better than for survival.....

Reality is not on your side.

Eko Ole

Contrary to the above gibberish crap, Ndigbo have not and do not claim to be humanly superior to other human beings. However, the essence of these instances of superiority remains the figment of imagination of most Yoruba peeps in Nigeria.

Throughout the debates on Nairaland or elsewhere, Yooba peeps are known to have erroneously arrogated “first in every human endeavor” to them selves yet they are the first loudmouthed bigots to accuse others of the palpable crime.

Beside the civil war, I can not fathom the era when the so-called other people were more “interested in meaningful and major endeavors from politics to commerce and industry” than Ndigbo in Nigeria. I can not believe some people are determined to sit historic fact on its head.

Goddex: I can bet with everything that Edwin Clark did not say this. This is a deliberate attempt by mischief makers to cause bad blood between the South East and South South. We are wiser than this gimmicks and shall only get stronger no matter how they try to divide us.

Granted Edwin Clarke may or may not own up to the alleged statement of the thread. However, your intent to hold brief for Edwin Clarke clearly shows you are apathetic to history. Edwin Clarke has said worse things about Ndigbo than the statement accredited to him on this thread.

What is the position of one goon berating Nigerians for lack of courage to embark on revolution? It was a court decision that elected him governor within a democratic setting. He owes it as a duty to preach the doctrines of democracy which emphasis the rule of law.

The action of Justice Crescent Dappa-Adbo of the Okehi High Court is highly regrettable. Thanks goodness the Commissioner of Police for Rivers State had indicated he\she is compelled to execute the judgment from the court in Abuja.

@POSTERS

Genocide is also a murder. Treason never attracted capital punishment in Nigeria until sets of cowards and criminals such as Obasanjo ascend to the position of Head of State.

Why are Africans so slavish in front of “White and Black” dichotomy instigated by Europeans to perpetuate inferiority complex in Africa? Remove the "White and Black" dichotomy associated with RSA, Nelson Mandela would have been politically nobody.

dayokanu: Dendemoron I feel your pain Imagine you share the same cesspit of a country with him

merengue: Have They Shamelessly Sold Igbo Presidency for N5billion? (Obinna Akukwe)

http://dailypost.com.ng/2013/04/03/obinna-akukwe-have-they-shamelessly-sold-igbo-presidency-for-n5billion/


It is obvious to informed political strategists that the Igbos have schemed themselves out of possible presidency for 2015 for a probable paltry sum of N5billion naira (subsidy thieves stole N1.7 billion naira). Since the Ohaneze crisis started in February 2012, various versions of how much was released to the body through various guise, means and reasons was rife. A news media (247ureports ) reported that ’’ Jonathan’s N5billion bribe tears Ohaneze Apart ‘’and went on to publish together with another media site ( Elombah) one of the secret bank accounts used to siphon the funds, but since the South East Governors set up a committee to look into the matter, facts before them suggested that the amount surpasses the N5 billion reported in the news. Some Committee members were availed of some secret account including the Diamond Bank account where over N275 million naira was withdrawn over a period of about two years without the knowledge of Ohaneze Secretariat. Informed sources have explained that the South East Governors were shocked when they realized that the presidency have been bombarding Ohaneze with cash, contracts and businesses and some Reconciliation Committee Members were so ashamed that they buried their heads in and sought an exit strategy. That is why a two-week assignment turned to over eight weeks and was concluded just before the Easter week. Their assignment is likened to a doctor called to cure malaria fever only to discover that the patient had acute Hepatitis B and needs complicated medication.

Bishop Emmanuel Chukwuma , at the peak of the Ohaneze crisis , put a call through to Governor Peter Obi, and asked what Igbo Governors were doing to checkmate the spiraling crisis. Peter Obi responded by scheduling a meeting of the five South East Governors at Government House, Enugu, and they responded within 24 hours to deliberate on the matter. The five governors of the South East set up 11 man committee to look into the Ohaneze crisis after the controversial January 2013 elections, unify the aggrieved chieftains and make Ohaneze stronger. The committee members include Bishop Emmanuel Chukwuma, Rev Prof Obiora Ike, Senator Uche Chukwumerije, Senator Ben Obi, Prof Joe Irukwu, Hon Ohuabunwa and among others, but the extent of shit oozing from the place was such that even the Governors were reluctant to call for speedy conclusion of the report.

Among the revelations which shocked them, though not new to the informed observers was that the Ime Obi meeting of Ohaneze was called only four times throughout the four year tenure of the immediate past leadership. Ime Obi meeting is like the council of elders and they hold monthly meetings during which they review situations that concerns Igbos with a view to taking appropriate positions. The aggrieved parties alleged that the organization was run front Asaba without due consultations to forestall any attempt for Igbos to rally in pursuit of common agenda.

Another revelation was that the past leadership had audience with President Goodluck Jonathan 21 times and there was no infrastructure in Igbo land to show for the meetings. They alleged that he never attended any of the meetings with President Jonathan in the company of any member of Ime Obi nor member of the National Executive Council, therefore nobody knows whether Igbo interest is being sold during the meetings. However, the immediate past president Ambassador Ralph Uwechue had countered that the president had always requested to see only himself and as such he cannot be expected to carry crowd to the Sate House.

The committee were told that all the monies collected on behalf of the group was never lodged into the account and that the organization as at the time of swearing in of new executives, had less than N100,000 naira in the account. They were informed that if not for the magnanimity of Governor Theodore Orji of Abia State who came to the rescue of Ohaneze with N2million naira , the elections would not have held, wandering why the deliberate starving of funds to the organs when the members know that Ohaneze had excess cash in secret accounts. The committee was told that the reason for the starvation of funds was to frustrate a free and fair election and impose some presidency anointed candidates on the Igbos .Uwechue countered the starvation of funds argument by explaining that he personally released N1million naira to the body for conduct of the said election , describing the taunted intervention of Orji as a blackmail.
The committee members were told that there was never any agreement between President Jonathan and Ohaneze that the former will support an Igbo man for president either in 2015 or 2019 and that Ohaneze’s blind endorsement of Jonathan 2015 is motivated by personal and business interests and they revealed some multi billion naira business interests of some Ohaneze Chieftains championing Jonathan 2015 projects.

The committee members also discovered that the presidential aide on Subsidy Reinvestment Programme, Nze Akachukwu Nwankpa was not acting alone in the bribery scandal. They were told that some people, who returned their bribe cheques issued through a proxy company, were given cash equivalent of between $120,000-150,000 dollars to shut up their mouth while Igbo interests is being sold. Nze Akachukwu on his own part have threatened to expose anybody that tries to drag his name to the mud and reportedly told some Igbo elders that he did everything with the consent of Ohaneze leadership.

Ambasador Uwechue had always maintained that the Ohaneze foundation was run by the Akachukwu in concert with the past publicity secretary, Chief Ralph Ndigwe, who was managing the Ikenga Express fleet of buses and that he was denied vital information and access to the funds. That was his submission to the earlier committee set up by Ohaneze to investigate the matter and that was the stance he maintained while speaking with some members of the committee.

The committee was told that the new leadership of Ohaneze has already foreclosed any support for Igbo presidency in 2015. The statement by the Ohaneze spokesman Prince Tonnie Ogonna that ” If President Jonathan declines to run in 2015, it then makes it quicker for the Igbo. The bottom line is that Ohanaeze supports Jonathan in whatever decision he takes in 2015” was tendered as evidence that the new leadership have sold off without any concrete agreement. This stance of the new Ohaneze leadership is already yielding dividends of financial transformation for some members.

Some Committees members, together with the Governors were disappointed that all the hues and cries that Ohaneze lacked funding was all lies and that Ohaneze was swimming in billions. Some of them expressed disappointment that the group had acquiesced to the President Jonathan second term agenda cheaply while others believe that Ohaneze is in order.

Governor Martins Elechi of Ebonyi State felt slighted that a president was elected for Ohaneze from his state and he was not allowed to either make input. He demanded a new election whereby according to the Ohaneze constitution, three persons must be presented from the state from which the General Convention can chose one.

The Committee had concluded its reports, however, informed sources revealed that while Governors Obi and Orji of Anambra and Abia States respectively are in support of the continuation of the present executives, Okorocha and Elechi favours fresh elections . It is expected that the Governors will harmonize their positions and probably appease the aggrieved parties.
Whichever way it goes, through acts of sabotage, it is obvious that Igbo presidency has been sold and those expecting the Igbo to preside over Nigeria in 2015 should blame their leaders for sacrificing their desting for paltry appeasement of a few billions.

Profetobinna2@yahoo.com

I guess people with organized social order in their heads should attempt to correct the illogicalities spewed by malnourished goon named Obinna Akukwe before his fellow ignoramuses such as Nigger_nut get senselessly euphoric.

What Igbo Presidency was the moronic dingbat talking about? Are there other ethnic presidencies besides the so-called Igbo presidency in Nigeria? Who was interested in buying the so-called Igbo presidency and for what reasons?

It is unfortunate Nigeria has produced uncountable goons who could not properly direct edibles to their mouths yet the bloody fools have access to writing materials.

If Daily Post is actually a news media entity, it must fire the azz of a jerk named Obinna Akukwe.

The dude, Gani Adams, is a walking dead.

delvinmaya: Really? Am so ashamed. I didn't know. Like you said I have written like a third grader. That's why I refuse to banter words with you over the so called diversity. According to your logic then, its only the english culture that holds sway. I am so clapping for you sire. You amaze me. You truly do. You with your ivy college education.
Afam, yes its not about being from another country, but rather seeing if the culture of the place they reside has been adopted more or less by them. I agree with you on that. But does not change who they are. They would still identify themselves with their true nation. Just as Nigerians there will still claim Nigeria.

It is will amount to waste of my precious time to banter with a person who regurgitates every crap he\she hears from Radio or TV commentaries. I guess you would have cited UK as example of your deluded country of diversity.

[quote author=Ogbuefi_Negro]if i hear you, ever again, band OPC in same category as you just did with terrorists, you will become the 8th accused person on this felony trial.

i want to see you jubilate now as youve always done when talking about trumped up charges of treasonable felony against awo and enahoro.[/quote]I have known your foolery is legendary. I guess the Igbo man who was convicted along with Awolowo does not count. It is very delightful when watching you flaunt ignorance in the public arena. By the way, who in his\her right senses will lose a sleep because OPC is making a noise? We know them by their roots.

delvinmaya: This has got to be the most stupid post ever in the history of forums. Do you really have to stoop so low to fabrications? Damn man. You need to get a grip and get a life.
And as much as most of you will argue that Nigeria is no nation, I laugh at you in Swahili. Truth is your arguments and thoughts don't go beyond this forum. Nigeria has been before you were born and will be after you are long gone. Only posterit can judge Nigeria, not your deluded fallacies. Funny thing is you all got monikers and hide behind it. The day Nairaland servers crashes, that's the day you lose your identities (hoping that in such eventuality, Seun will not have your details backed up). Deluded people. And for your information, the US is as diverse as Nigeria, when you talk about the homogeneous heterogeneous people living there. So shut your trap and ask what you can do for your country to make it great

From the above post, it is safe to conclude the poster has written like a third grader who was fed with subliminal and feel-happy history of USA. USA’s so-called diversity is only real to a fool. USA is English nation and English culture and ways of life hold supreme.

I warned MAASOB and its leadership that barking without displaying fearful fangs will not cut it in the jungle called Nigeria. Most Nigerians do not tend to follow historical events. The angry posturing of groups such as OPC, MOSOP, MEND and Boko Haram can not be equated to the marked history of Nigeria that trails MASSOB and its members. Such historical facts send chills to the spines of most Nigerians whose benevolent spirit of nepotism cracked their palm kernel would want the battered ship-Nigeria to sail along.

I do not blame the idiotic justices of the so-called Supreme Court of Nigeria because Ndigbo have gone into deep slumber in the accident called Nigeria.

thelastPope: I completely agree and that is the point of this thread. I was thinking, like many ignorant people on this forum, you will say corruption. I have always argued that corruption itself is a result, not the root cause. A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. There will always be corruption as long as there is disunity and division

The fact remains that those mischievous Nigerians who rode on the back of tribal bias and nepotism to the apex of power in Nigeria would want the country to continue in this form because it benefits them. Nigeria is worse than a divided kingdom. It is so divided that the inhabitants are completely delusional and confused.

thelastPope: And what in your opinion is the root cause if I may ask?

Tribal bias!!!! I do not think you are that dumb not to comprehend. Unless you have decided to be deceitful like most Nigerians, you should know the answer to your question. Nigeria shall never become developed country as long as all the ethnic nationalities are housed under the same entity as configured today.

thelastPope: The last time I checked, Nigeria was categorized under underdeveloped countries. USA was once worse than Nigeria you know. It is a process. The problem is many of you are not willing to participate in the process. You are demainding for the end result whilst shying away from the process. Who is going to deliver that end result to you? Some of you exhibit a combination of laziness and selfishness; no insult intended. No one denied the problems of Nigeria. What we ask is for solutions and action from every Nigeria. Not this sectional and partisan bickering.

Pope

Of course, the geographical expression called Nigeria is classified as “developing country”. How long shall it remain developing? It was not long ago that few patriotic Nigerians tried to stage fearless actions and their actions were quickly painted as ethnic agenda. Today, the same thing is happening again.

It is easy to write about the symptoms but root causes. The combinations of laziness and selfishness as you have alluded in your post have a root cause.

thelastPope: You have to be realistic sometimes and I seriously think you aint realistic right now. There is no way Nigeria will disintegrate after a breakfast meeting or tea party. The only way Nigeria will disintegrate after a dialogue us if something happens out of the blues that will change the present equation of the country. For example, if oil is discovered in the North or something of that nature happens. It will never happen the way you are dreaming it would. I am simply being realistic. If I can, i might start a war, just to disintegrate Nigeria, but I am not in that position to do that now. Maybe the militants will do that someday, but for now, we have to live with the reality on the ground

Pope

Are you insinuating that the goofy One-Nigeria is all about crude oil? I can safely conclude from your post there is no humanistic measure or cultural tie among the inhabitants of Nigeria that could foster the kind patriotism experienced in USA. If you comprehend the realities of Nigeria, one wonders why you have tempted to juxtapose the jungle called Nigeria with a nation such as USA when talking of lessons about nationhood.

thelastPope: If that is your solution, why not start a war. My position is you should do something, even if it is termed negative. You should act. Not just talk. Thats my take

I do not believe in the school of thought which states disintegration could only be achieved through war. Countries such as USSR and Czechoslovakia did not engage in a war before breaking up. I have been in a war already during an attempt to disintegrate Nigeria. As it stands now, I am doing my best to keep the desire to disintegrate Nigeria alertly alive among my people.

Was it not my negative contribution get you twisted a little while ago?

thelastPope: Look Afam, I understand you perfectly. But we can sit here all day and debate the grammar or get off our azz and go do something about it. One thing I have come to see about Nigerians is that we are very cowardly and lazy and will rather engage in the blame game than act to solve our problems. That is the whole point of this thread. What do we as individuals contribute to the process. I laugh with the way we talk about government in Nigeria. Obama said clearly yesterday that the most important factor to solving the the case was the peoples input and called on everyone to participate. Here, we just say it is government responsibility as if government is aso rock. I have been to several countries and I cantell you that it is only in Nigeria and a very few other nations people talk like that

My grandpa said that anybody who does not remember where the rain started beating him\her shall never know where the rain stopped. People such as you who seemed apathetic to historic facts tend to commit the same blunders over and over again.

If you are such a patriotic Nigeria, one wonders what is still holding back from setting up examples.
